easter-eggs

[bright ruin]

Easy way to tell if something is Ospuze

Yellow

[vale igloo]

Okay I was wrong on Sofia 😭

Where is this?

[bright ruin]

Patchnote site https://www.reachthefinals.com/patchnotes/s4teaser

[hard forge]

everywhere

[bright ruin]

it's even in your walls

[naive kernel]

[rigid adder]

Nice 😂😂😂

[gaunt kiln]

Do we have any solid IDS on these new weapons. Heavy is really obvious but the other two are throwing me through a ringer.

[scarlet nest]

You think this will be like factions we can join for the season? Or mayeb switch between to get a diff boost of soem sort?

[bright ruin]

No switching. You pick one and you can't change

#easter-eggs message
Read about it

[rugged breach]

Confirmed

https://www.reachthefinals.com/patchnotes/s4teaser ^

[bright ruin]

Pete and repeat were sitting on a log

[scarlet nest]

hmmmm i wonder what you get from choosing one over the other

[bright ruin]

Likely some sort of circuit-like progression
Potentially with sponsor themed cosmetics

Or maybe whichever sponsor has the most "points" (however those will be calculated) gets something for everyone at the end of the season

[naive kernel]

It's possible that this shot is what the sponsor rewards are

Same with how circuits get displayed in menus

[bright ruin]

Pretty sure those cosmetics already exist in the game

if not, we have some that look very similar, so it's hard to tell

[cold heart]

@plucky kettle can you delete those threads... same for youres @dusk veldt

[plucky kettle]

ive tried with mine I think

[cold heart]

Litterially no point when we have this one yesturday https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1283444562416631878

[plucky kettle]

yeah think ive done it

[velvet narwhal]

You can't delete threads...

[dusk veldt]

Thats a long story, Frenchy made a bunch so I thought that would help and yeh ._.

Ive pinged justice about it, he will most likely take care of it

[cold heart]

I swear you can delete your own 🫠 fair enough

[plucky kettle]

2...

• yours

[cold heart]

Still dumb either way

[plucky kettle]

yah

[dusk veldt]

Dude that was because you made individual ones for the CEOs ._. Alright lets stop pointing fingers

[plucky kettle]

they are in the "old" section from what I can see anywayu

[plucky kettle]

my bad, I didnt try to point fingers (tbf I thought I blamed myself anyway) but ye

[crisp eagle]

Ok who is gonna be the official sponsor of the Gunters?! Haha

[summer wave]

ogden morrow

[odd copper]

MASS 26 shotgun for light
Some type of DMR for medium
Dual wield desert eagles for heavy

[full token]

(Just looked at the awesome teaser and S4 stuff, and just made me want to pop in quick, so forgive me) the Engimo sponsor/CEO Ichikawa Natsumi’s earrings are a Tesseract/4d cube. The wordplay in the description and coupled with some aspects of Dragonflies stuck out to me enough to want to mention. 🫡

[atomic rock]

The medium weapon might be an SU16C, semi auto rifle.

[coarse terrace]

Was it like this before?

[willow barn]

nope

[odd copper]

That’s the ugliest piece of shit I’ve ever seen in my life. Idk how somebody managed to make a gun uglier than hi point

[coarse terrace]

maybe there will be places with such barrels on the new map

[atomic rock]

Well that’s what the medium gun looks like

You can see the hinge for the stock

Possibly a different barrel attachment for that skin though

[odd copper]

I’m not denying that’s the gun model used for the game. Just saying that it’s ugly as sin

[atomic rock]

I mean it looks ugly in the picture because it’s showing the swinging parts that move I’ll find a full picture of it when it’s not opened

It’s not pretty but it’s better

[odd copper]

Oh wait. It’s made by kel tec so it adds up. Kel tec makes some weird stuff

[atomic rock]

Yeah I don’t know much about guns but started looking them up because I really wanted a dmr for medium…. I was disappointed to find this was the closest looking gun but I’ll manage

[odd copper]

I know a ton about them. Been shooting since I was 4 and I currently work for KRISS USA

[atomic rock]

I’m Canadian so I know….. nothing

[odd copper]

I get to test fire vectors. Absolute dream job

[fallen jasper]

No new gadgets or specializations?

[sterile barn]

What’s the heavy weapon? I know light gets dual pistols.

[fallen jasper]

That’s heavies weapon

[atomic rock]

Looks like medium can use two turrets 😭

[sterile barn]

And then abilities, gadgets, etc.

[fallen jasper]

They also had nukes in the frames, I doubt it

[sterile barn]

Medium?

[fallen jasper]

Medium gets a DMR, Light gets a shotgun, heavy gets dual pistols

[atomic rock]

You got a picture of that?

[atomic rock]

Medium probably a semi auto

[atomic rock]

Probably this

[sterile barn]

Light isn’t dual pistols? wtf? Makes sense I guess. Prob like two r.54s

And then is heavy special a nuke or some shit?

[fallen jasper]

Check main chat media, devs already said media team is getting in trouble for including it lol. Devs confirmed nukes are not coming back

[fallen jasper]

Heavy is getting two .50 caliber handguns, they will be very strong and high caliber

[atomic rock]

Oh good to know, I used them once and the week after they were gone lol

[sterile barn]

By nuke not game nuke, but like a literally nuke.

[alpine junco]

lol imagine the scolding theyre gonna get

[sterile barn]

Oh let’s go

[atomic rock]

Anyone know about world tour and its mode

[fallen jasper]

Those that left because of them in S1 and seeing those in the frames is bad ngl lol

False panic begins

[mossy patrol]

Light will get M26, Medium SU 16 and Heavy Desert Eagle akimbo

[waxen sinew]

do we know if lights is auto or pump?

[atomic rock]

Pump

Light with a full auto shotgun 😂, maybe they can fly away pull off jetpack joyride

[waxen sinew]

that would be a cool idea honestly, have it be auto that does a lot of damage up close but launches you backwards

well more of push to make it viable

[fallen jasper]

What if heavies akimbo deagle is an attachment?

[full plinth]

yea

[atomic rock]

It looks like the only attachments being added are sights

The rest are just visual for skins I think

[fallen jasper]

Yeah true, just would be a cool concept to trade firepower for accuracy, like the ability to switch

[atomic rock]

Would be but a lot of the skins in the game with attachments would become a big issue

[waxen sinew]

nah bro we ain't making this cod with broken attachment load outs

[rotund apex]

Technically bolt action, seems to be the M26 MASS

[fallen jasper]

Sights alone will be interesting to see how they balance it

[waxen sinew]

is that the actual name?

[rotund apex]

Straight pull though

[granite bough]

I compared them and this appears to be the correct answer

[atomic rock]

Nice! I’m a little sad but nice 😭

[cold heart]

@coarse terrace @willow barn yes... the smoke barrel is even a (older model?) fire extinguisher 😉

spamming it makes it happen consistently

[waxen sinew]

that thing does not look like a shotgun

[cold heart]

well... it is 😅

[atomic rock]

Real question though, can I add a scope to my spoon 🤔

[rotund apex]

You can also see it in the stance, look at the left hand

[odd copper]

Guns come in many shapes and sizes.

[odd copper]

I need a 10x scope to aim my winch

[atomic rock]

Dagger with a bipod

[waxen sinew]

so the video I watched on the M26 MASS (yeah idk my guns) they put holes into a door, are we getting something like the heavies where it can open up walls?

[odd copper]

Sword with a bayonet

[hearty meteor]

it might have high object damage

[rotund apex]

Almost any shotgun can be used like that, but yeah perhaps it can be used as a tactical breaching tool

[odd copper]

Yeah it’s mainly used as a breaching tool irl but it can be used as a regular shotgun as well

[waxen sinew]

I was about to say I saw it being called the door breacher a couple of times

I'm really hoping this is a map variation cause I do not like the buildings separated by jumpads

[odd copper]

The idea is that it removes the need to carry a full size shotgun when breaking down doors. You just use the MASS to bust the lock and hinge before kicking it down and pushing in with your rifle

[waxen sinew]

that's actually sick

[rotund apex]

Regular AR won't exactly blow a door off it's hinges real fast

Shotgun will with the right load

So the US military said why not do both

Anyway, have any easter eggs been spotted in the teaser so far?

[hearty meteor]

when gun dont work, use more gun

[odd copper]

law enforcement and militaries typically use specially designed breaching shells tho. The pellets essentially turn into sand to prevent ricochets. Any buck shot will get through a door, duck shot probably could too tbh

[rotund apex]

We'll see if it's actually gonna get a breaching role ingame, I somewhat doubt it though

[odd copper]

Yall ever heard of the XM29?

The U.S. military designed a 20mm grenade launcher that had an underbarrel rifle attached to it

[rotund apex]

The stupidly bulky thing with the square looking sight ontop?

[odd copper]

That’s the XM25 which was inspired by the XM29. The sight on the 29 looks like a train car with a tail

[rotund apex]

I was actually refering to the XM29

[waxen sinew]

I haven't spotted any, might have to slow it down or go frame by frame

[rotund apex]

Wasn't even aware they made a derivative/inspired platform lol

[odd copper]

Ahhh, the 25s sight looks more rectangular from the side so I assumed you were talking about g about that one.

[odd copper]

Yeah the xm25 is basically just the grenade launcher without the under barrel rifle. It’s also 25mm instead of 20mm

[cold heart]

dont forget Bill T. Jones too

[umbral flax]

Are we ready for two turrets?! 🗣🔥

[green frost]

disgusting bruh

cut its hp in half

or morev

[mellow storm]

have we seen other sights outside of the AK?

[grizzled merlin]

would be crazy in ranked TA

[shadow vector]

goodthing ranked ta wont exist anymore lmao

[umbral flax]

Would be, not anymore 🗣🔥

[umbral flax]

Or just use Data Reshaper 🗣🔥

[atomic rock]

The new medium gun shows it self with different sights

[inland hemlock]

Holtow rules

[atomic rock]

There’s sights in the right picture

[odd copper]

People sleep on it fr. I did before I realized just how much range it has

[mellow storm]

I only saw it with a scope in the trailer, could just be a change in design
same thing with the AK, I was thinking they reworked it to use a scope (to differentiate it from the FCAR)

[atomic rock]

Yeah but the store releases shown in the picture on the website show no scopes on any of the guns

Plus in the description it says alternative sights

[mellow storm]

oh I'm STUPID LOL fuck yeag

[atomic rock]

lol

[sinful shadow]

Unfortunately not allowed!

[wind flicker]

Ok

[opal pond]

Adding to this,The backside of the charm is rotated.

[crude zodiac]

♾️ maybe?

[runic furnace]

I know I'm late but Finally I I've been waiting to sign with sponsors

[torn swallow]

Fr

Wish ospuze was an option

[atomic rock]

Could be in a future season, I believe season 4 they said “this season” meaning it’s not forever

[spring plover]

Reminds me of burrow gif

[opaque thistle]

gustavo fring????

[pearl pollen]

could it be an alternate option? maybe specializations get versions you can select per build?

[crude zodiac]

im guessing it's a bug, i feel like 2 turrets is wack

[umbral flax]

As cool as that sounds on paper, it would be very hard to track down on what variant of a certain specialization a player has

[median brook]

I really hope that it will be possible to get all of the cosmetics from all of the sponsors this season.

[storm horizon]

I think there is smth hidden

[pearl pollen]

if its a rework or a buff im also curious either way

[storm horizon]

No, old Asian with a cool black suit is the only one in my heart

[umbral flax]

I was hoping that the Turret behavied like Battlefield 2042's Turret (without the part of it being utterly useless) where it would shoot a big burst shot that dealt somewhat damage, but went on a type of "overheat cooldown"

Either way, I'm happy to see what they will do with the Turrets

[pearl pollen]

6 turret teams in qp would be crazy fun honestly, the "stick 3 on a goo barrel" strat is a finals classic and im hyped no matter what they do

[crude zodiac]

imagine 10 turrets on the platform 💀

[umbral flax]

And remember children, say it with me

Never liked that one anyway

[storm horizon]

And another one(but not sure)

[storm horizon]

And here is m11

[crude zodiac]

they removed the silencer 👀

[storm horizon]

No, it's an art from closed alpha or beta, in that time there was M11 without silencer

[crude zodiac]

ah I see

[storm horizon]

In This one actually is a silencer

[crude zodiac]

makes sense, I see it now but I didn't know that was the M11

was anything ever found in the end credits? I remember pointing out the S1 credit message had funky punctuation, but I wasn't able to make any sense of it

I also saw that S3 has a similar thing

[storm horizon]

https://youtu.be/Qq6fyA9kihI?si=JWxcmStp-CKxmF3_ here 5:40 if u wanna see how it was looking

[crude zodiac]

lol im glad they added the silencer, it looks a little goofy

[pale quarry]

What's this?

[astral solstice]

Looks like fork & knife

[pale quarry]

Lol

[astral solstice]

Maybe the new throwing stars skin

[willow barn]

Throwing knifes skin

[pale quarry]

Where is that from?

[glass wharf]

nah ima do it just because of this lol

[umbral flax]

Saw someone posted it (not in reddit)

[lone wave]

Ok so that might not be legit

[umbral flax]

Maybe, but it looks hella cool and super legit

[lone wave]

Can you provide the source?

[drowsy plume]

dont know if its leaked but i dont remenber seeing the font used in any other trailer or official media from embark

[umbral flax]

I guess time will tell

[lone wave]

Yeah that doesn’t look legit at all

[drowsy plume]

yeah, but the thing is if it is leaked we are not supposed to use it, that's the rule

[atomic rock]

whered you find this?

[drowsy plume]

its one of the arts from a beta

like we got that and a set showcasing the ospuze skins

[atomic rock]

ahhhh, i played beta but never saw it

[drowsy plume]

cause its not in the actual game, it is in the official art channel i think

#official-art message here

[crude zodiac]

the red moon is in skyway stadium too, right?

i havent played today either, I remember seeing a big red moon a while ago

[brisk hearth]

next blood moon is march 14, 2025 -- ark raiders release date confirmed 🫡

[cold heart]

what are you on about 😅 there is always a redmoon on skyway, if you get the correct time of day

been like that since the map was added

[crude zodiac]

yea thats what I thought

new map really do be skyway stadium 2.0

[cold heart]

that isnt a picture of the new map

that a picture of skyway

[hard forge]

150+ red moon mentions and 100+ blood moon mentions in #easter-eggs

oops, I saw Holtow and assumed

thought it was a screen grab from the trailer

what link?

that is for content creators

dont trust anything from that account lol

[hard forge]

[storm horizon]

Easter egg web site with codes, but I may also seen this art in #official-art

[alpine junco]

We do actually, and rob said it has a significance

[torn swallow]

The announcement says players too

[torn swallow]

#server-announcements

[dull marsh]

Yeah what do you mean lmao, this has been discussed many times, current understanding is that it represents Ra, god of the sun and solar eclipses, but there might be other meanings obviously

[snow walrus]

CNS
C-N-S => Scene S
Scene S (S LIES...SceneS)
SceneS-S LIES
Sceneslies
Seen👁️lies (OpenYourEyes)

What we all see is a big lie (by AI?) CNS(the group) tries to wake us up from the lie (virtual world?maybe)
The wall represents the virtual world's boundaries?

Seek the truth beyond the walls:

Truth is in the real world(?) and awaits us beyond the walls of virtual world(lies)

GOOD EVENING !
THIS BROADCAST HAS BEEN HACKED BY CNS:

"This broadcast": Whatever we live in the game is just an unending broadcast and sometimes CNS can manages to interrupt somehow.

"GOOD EVENING !":
CNS always(?) starts with good evening because all the things we have lived are happened in ONE NIGHT
or
we loopback to same night over and over again.

One night 3 dawns see the signs:

If we loopback to same night everytime, the stars, constellations etc. everything on the sky has to be aligned the same according to that fixed date/night.
or my other idea is:
Virtual world is not perfect and has errors(?) which can be spotted by those signs

[dull marsh]

SLIES = SKIES?

[cold heart]

you could have linked the message #server-announcements message
and again... it says content creators

you can give it a try 🤷‍♀️ but p sure they arent just giving it out 😅

[torn swallow]

Says creators and players

[dull marsh]

Calling all content creators!

[cold heart]

🤦‍♀️

[torn swallow]

Look at the form description itself

[cold heart]

if youre going IRL

[torn swallow]

Oh

That makes more sense then

[cold heart]

like as i said, you can try or be lucky 😅 but the further questions ask for your channel names n stuff for the early access lol

[snow walrus]

CNS - PeriodicTableofElements
Where do elements come from? Stars

[waxen sinew]

the part in the teaser trailer where they say "it's show time" reminds me so much of SAO
link in case you don't know
https://youtu.be/7f5zaBF5AlI?si=TO8JNVopvWmeX4gL
if that line is in the game I'm recreating that character

should've put that in off-topic sorry guys

[daring bison]

anyone else hearing thunder in their matches?? is that new??

[daring bluff]

could be the new crowd chanting, but also the meteor shower event makes actual thunder noises

[vale igloo]

the orange car predicted the S4 tagline

[fallen summit]

car prediction

[sinful shadow]

Imagine gokart racing on las Vegas map

[wide vessel]

I dunno where to put this but the S4 soundtrack just dropped

[spring thistle]

I'll wait for the season to drop

Don't wanna spoil

[hard forge]

this are not s4 tracks

this are from beta and events

[naive kernel]

Here We Go was dropped by Rob as part of his S4 teasing so seems like it's been brought back and changed up/finished

But yeah the playlist this is in is basically an 'extras' playlist, not S4

[spring thistle]

Wait. Isn't that the open beta trailer music

The one that Rob posted a few days ago. When Oscar and his viewers politely encouraged him to post it.

[hard forge]

yes

[dull marsh]

It's the meteor shower, sounds extremely similar to thunder

[spring thistle]

the fortnite storm

[keen ravine]

[opal pond]

Perfect counter to third partying

[snow walrus]

S1 event song

[fallen jasper]

Lmao I am stupud

[burnt sun]

whats your connection from periodic table to cns?

[snow walrus]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/CNS

[crude zodiac]

so CNS could stand for Carbon, Nitrogen, Sulfur? I know the central nervous system was confirmed but there could be more than 1 meaning

im realising this is obvious and has been mentioned by many people already

[burnt sun]

but cns stands for central nervous system, no?

[solid jay]

It could have something to do with biochemistry and evolution? Sulfur based microbial life is possible.

[hard forge]

it was eyed. not confirmed.

[burnt sun]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/File:CNS_pt.png

now I understand :D

[hard forge]

?

[burnt sun]

your connection between CNS and the PTOTE

[crude zodiac]

clearly the answer is Ceriodic Nable of Selements

[hard forge]

#easter-eggs message

[burnt sun]

Sulfur is absorbed by the soil and turns into sulfate's - this helps the plants growth. Plants also need nitrogen because it's a major component of chlorophyll, to use sunlight

and during photosynthesis, they absorb carbon

so Plants use C-N-S

[crude zodiac]

so what I'm hearing is that CNS bought Holtow's sun insurance

[burnt sun]

cns controlled by plants confirmed :P

[vagrant fulcrum]

Anybody figured out the roses in the practice range?

[crude zodiac]

not yet I dont think

they're related to beans or something

[ocean dagger]

and any clue about de ee menu?

[vagrant fulcrum]

beans?

[crude zodiac]

yea, magic beans like in the fairy tale

[royal root]

Does the mma in each x's specific passcode url mean anything? I was thinking of the M's could be macro something

[solid jay]

Could be a lead for practice range roses? Lol

[burnt hedge]

those are the songs for the trailers, not s4

oh sorry someone else already pointed it out

[sick meadow]

any new ee?

[opal lynx]

Its not season 4 thats the open-beta trailer soundtrack thats thy the album name is B-Sides and was uploaded by DistroKid to the
Embark Studios - Topic

[buoyant dune]

It could be returning to season 4 as one of the tracks, we'll see

[dull marsh]

They literally just released it on B-Side, which is "secondary" musics (Limited Time Events and Beta), it would make little sense for them to release it there if it was part of S4 too

[grave pecan]

hello there easter egg hunters, is there anyone who can give me a brief description on what the easter egg status is right now

[low escarp]

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1100745453206786078 this should have what ur looking for

[dim totem]

Just checked but b-sides only has TA, Steal the spotlight and trailer music. No cowboy and holiday themes yet 😩

[tepid current]

just making sure that, is this always have been here or is it a spray that idk ?

[hearty meteor]

i think its the spray for whatever team you are on and the username

[tepid current]

[tidal ferry]

huh?

[opal pond]

S4 leaks ?! Here we Gooo!

[opal lynx]

I have playlist is not called season 4 ost it's called B-Sides

[sterile minnow]

fellas, i dont remember the moon having this weird thing in it but i could be wrong..

[brittle igloo]

That's always been there

[sterile minnow]

aw ok

[brittle igloo]

Could mean that there will be a season in space and can also kinda hints to the 'I want to' image

[sinful shadow]

S4 map will be sponsor themed seul map, maybe they will add more maps for events like it was in S1

[brittle igloo]

I genuinely hope since summer break is over

[leaden lava]

Ladies and gentlemen... I have returned

[spring thistle]

I'm starting to think that fortune stadium's variants are digital versions of seoul, monaco, and skyway.

[leaden lava]

For Atsuhiro:

I read your awesome research in #1204475718747029535 and had a miniscule nitpick. For some reason, tradition has it that there are three wise men, but the Bible doesn't actually say how many come to visit Jesus. Not particularly relevant in the grand scheme of things, but when sifting through molecules, even the smallest details might make a difference, so I figured I'd offer my 2/10ths of a cent

Also RockhoundBlack thanks for continuing to credit me on the Cetacea thing in your videos. It really feels nice to feel like I did something helpful for the community

[unkempt dune]

I agree that small details can make a difference

small details can make a BIG difference.. heh

[leaden lava]

yea definitely. Just played my first few rounds of the season after a three or four month hiatus and let me tell you... WHAT A WHIRLWIND. It's like playing a whole new game

kinda

It'll take me some time to catch up on all the new discoveries yall have made, meet the new folks on the team, etc., but rest assured I'm ready for some more hunting

[snow walrus]

Welcome back Reuben

[fallen summit]

guys have we ever gotten these skins

their from the TA promo pic

full pic

[opal pond]

Nope

I really want the mask

[waxen sinew]

this one?

[opal pond]

Yeah but with the red stuff on it

[waxen sinew]

it's hard to see what that xp skin looks like

[opal pond]

Its like a green camo skin

[waxen sinew]

I think that's just them doing the whole red v blue thing

I think they've done that with some other cosmetics too

[opal pond]

Yeah probably

[unkempt dune]

Where is this from?

I can tell it's different from the loading screen picture for TA

I'm finding it a tiny bit suspicious just because of the cosmetics used.. the red L.E.DEMON has appeared in the past in at least one of the pre-release videos

[naive kernel]

I can't find the original source for the image itself, but it was in the game mode video announcement https://youtu.be/-TRJ4mf-HLY?t=13 so presumably was part of press assets

Lore with the new cutscene?

[storm horizon]

4 mistery pipes

[opal pond]

Found these too, guessing its left over from someone who worked on the map

[sinful shadow]

S2 fcar inspection shows how much ammo you have left in your magazine (unlike S3 akm one)

Inspection in AKM animation's set doesn't show bullets both in magazine and cartridge chamber

[spring dagger]

tarkov be like

[junior thicket]

Yes it was the terminal attack event clothing you earned from playing TA.

[opal pond]

The mask wasnt?

[junior thicket]

No the mask is available in the store

[tidal ferry]

also we didn't got this

[waxen sinew]

it's almost like there two separate weapons

[sinful shadow]

Wdym? Inspection is the same, you look into the magazine and do press check to see the bullet in chamber, in AKM there are no bullets seen (and ejected cases seem like 2D sprites)

[austere bridge]

hey yall has anything been found about the practice range roses

[crude zodiac]

I dont think so, I think the main lead we have is it's confirmed the bean EE is a part of the rose EE

[waxen sinew]

gonna be honest I was at work and didn't watch the full video, but I think it's more of a visual bug, you can report it to eggmail if you want

[bright ruin]

Was there much to be found in the S4 teaser trailer? I looked through #1283444562416631878 but didn't see anything super major

[unborn pilot]

Just some of the new weapons and gadgets. That’s big for most folks but yeah nothing EE wise indeed.

[crude zodiac]

i noticed the cash box makes a weird distorted sound at the start that I've never heard in-game, idk if that's anything of note

[austere bridge]

im still very confused about the bean EE

[crude zodiac]

[storm horizon]

We may have 2 similar watches

Looks similar

[storm horizon]

Mask is buyable

[storm horizon]

See this, it's from this season, so we can get white mask in s4

[opal pond]

White mask was from the vaiiya circuit reward
(along with the black and red dot eye)

[rapid willow]

This season looking amazing so far

[sinful shadow]

And black one?

[sinful shadow]

Unglitched version of S2 watch and clothes would be cool

[opal pond]

Afaik we dont have a black one in the game. Closest is a greenish mask

[graceful cosmos]

Mask is Closed Beta 1 battlepass, level 22. "L.E.DEMON".

https://mywikis-eu-wiki-media.s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/thefinals/CB1_LV22.png

[storm horizon]

Fr

[opal pond]

Yeah but thats not just the mask. has headphones and a skimask or whatever its called

[storm horizon]

It's not vaiiya one, it's white, and we need black

[storm horizon]

If u are in a game, look in this bundle, they are separate skins

[opal pond]

Yes I know

The white one IS from vaiiya. It was from the circuit in S2. The black one in the trailer is unreleased (so far)

[hushed lily]

Anyone notice the grass glitching out when they are playing or the customize screen glitching green pixels when your AFK for too long

Grass got infected with blue then when i stopped mid run to cash out to look at it, it slowly started to fade away. We lost that match cuz of me lol

[opal pond]

That might be an issue on your hardware Can you get a clip of it?

Or a screenshot

#easter-eggs message

Is it similair to this?

[hushed lily]

It is sorta similar but everytime i change screen from lobby to the contestant screen it always went away

And i don’t believe it can be hardware, i play on pc and xbox and have seen it on both. 2 entirely different setups

[hushed lily]

Ill clip it next time it happens

[opal pond]

Might be a monitor or video port issue then

[spring thistle]

I'm saying it right now.
In s4, you'll be able to emote in lobby.

[hushed lily]

Haha

Oo im orange now

You guys think we will get like mid game events that tie into the lore, like maybe CNS hack or arena security comes in to clear the arena

Or someone joins or breaks into the game mod match and its like a boss you have to fight haha

Something people probably wouldn’t like tho

[agile wren]

we alr get this in season 2

[alpine junco]

wrong channel for cosmetic discussion

#1201288968562552863

[devout adder]

I was in a match and went in a chimney thing and i shot the wall and the cns logo thingy appeared on the chimney

Idk if its an easter egg or whatever just thought id share

[bright ruin]

We would need more details to make any sense of this.
Screen shots, what map you were on, what a "chimney thing" is, etc.

[hushed lily]

Agreed

Sorry for ping mb

[opal pond]

What map?

I know what chimney thing you’re talking about theyre on monaco and skyway

Can you send a screenshot of the wall you shot. Cns logo doesn’t have to be in it
Dm it to me if you cant send images here yet

[bright ruin]

Also need to know if the cns logo actually appeared via an animation after you shot the wall, otherwise it's possible (and likely) it was just someone's spray

[opal pond]

Oh yeah good one, totally forgot there are player CNS sprays

[hushed lily]

I can only think it could be believed cuz CNS hides behind walls

They did it at the construction site

[devout adder]

Its the monaco map

Im trying to get a screenshot of were i was one sec

[fallow agate]

Map and location on map?

[bright ruin]

(read above)

[fallow agate]

My WiFi bugged out. I sent it before they said anything lol

[floral kraken]

Is this just me, or does adding Skyway Tri-Star to the Iseul-T grenade look like the Volpe logo?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3332323032

[unkempt dune]

where are you seeing the volpe logo exactly?

I can see the nose/head aspect

which is very blocky like the blocky fox charm

[unkempt dune]

I don't even think The Titanic saw this one coming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceberg_theory

goes back to "you see 24 for 2024, but what don't most people see?"

[unkempt dune]

iceberg lettuce is a connection to this

since you know, lettuce has multiple layers to it that you can peel

but you reveal more layers as you peel

[queen stone]

#⚡┇the-finals-chat message
If someone have order the merchs. Can you check it ?

[stark saddle]

Ye we know about this

[queen stone]

Ah

Sorry

There a theard ?

[stark saddle]

Nw it's a very silly easter egg they added, theres also "can you bleach the finals"

[stark saddle]

Not that i'm aware of

[queen stone]

I saw the beach one but now I want to know if there is more.
I ordered a vaiiya one. I check it when it's here

[devout adder]

Ive been unable to get the monaco map but its like in the house theres like the furnaces in the rooms and u can go in them

So i shot whilst inside and the cns logo appeared both inside and outside the thing

[sleek stratus]

up the chimney? just in the chimney? with what gun? are you sure it wasnt a spray someone left?

[unkempt dune]

only the left arm of the merch has Open Your Eyes? Interesting detail

[storm horizon]

nuh, i see, closest to that black mask is one with fire(cuz it doesnt have dots for breathing)

[devout adder]

No cus it only appeared once i shot the gun

[sleek stratus]

huh?

[opal pond]

Okay just for clarification, It did NOT look like any of these 2 right?

[devout adder]

No

It was similar to tje white one

But it had a message on it or sum

Ive got sn image of it

But sum 1 put goo over it

I cant send images tho

[bright ruin]

upload to imgur and share the link

[devout adder]

Can i justt dm u

[bright ruin]

Sure, go ahead

It's the spray

[hard forge]

definitely a spray

[devout adder]

It says deadly feet

[hard forge]

thanks for posting tho. we appreciate it.

[bright ruin]

It's your teammates spray

[devout adder]

Damn

Lol i just wanted to share just incase

Incase* mb

[hard forge]

[pure loom]

way better to share something we already know about than not share something we don't

[opaque thistle]

w o t

[pure loom]

where did that image come from?

[unkempt dune]

oh, I just found a conspiracy theory iceberg online and added one last layer

[pure loom]

oh, lol - I was like WTF is this??

[opaque juniper]

BOATS COMING TO THE FINALS ‼️‼️

jkjk

[pure loom]

Interesting that there's a reference to Gonzo journalism in that Iceberg theory article, which links to Las Vegas through Hunter S. Thompson

[unkempt dune]

I'm under the impression Open Your Eyes, T-posing, the Titanic itself, Icebergs, ect. are all really good clues for the hunt just from one movie

iceberg theory is really on the nose of it

In fact, you can make the connection back to the Tower of Babel with the claim of someone hearing Edward John Smith saying: "Even God himself couldn't sink this ship"

funny how we say that babies "babble" similar to the Tower of Babel

OSPUZE has babies on their website..

[waxen sinew]

ospuze hat does not have text in it just in case anyone was wondering

[silk tree]

Seen these bodies around and heard theories, but not with what looks to be glowing eyes maybe?

[waxen sinew]

visual bug

[sinful shadow]

This happens when dash light dies

[dull marsh]

Hello EE people

You might want to tune in later today...

https://tenor.com/view/chefs-kiss-french-chef-perfect-dish-excellent-food-perfection-gif-20341505

[waxen sinew]

what do you mean

[dull marsh]

I will post stuff about my latest theory

It's... decent

[rugged breach]

Soup to brick scale, how solid's the cooking? 👀

Also got a rough time?

[waxen sinew]

we talking the big EE hunt?

[dull marsh]

Probably during evening EU time?

[rugged breach]

Huge

[dull marsh]

Very likely yeah

I guess we'll do like last time as a little guessing game? 😄

[waxen sinew]

alright well evening eu is morning for me I think so I'll have to read it later but excited nonetheless

[dull marsh]

The Big Picture #2

[spring plover]

im just kinda throwing it out there since i know now we are getting a sapphire skin, i figured it would be added because it plays into the theme of RGB, light, pixels, whatever. would i be wrong to assume we would be getting something like a topaz skin also for yellow?? yellow is a primary color and some tv manufacturers even use yellow with their RGB

[dull marsh]

Where did you see that? Haven't heard it until now 🤔

[cold heart]

its speculation cos of this image..

people think the blue rank badge (top left) is too blue to be diamond

[dull marsh]

Where is the saphire in that? 😄

lol

[cold heart]

i personally dont buy it though, n think its just diamond

[dull marsh]

Yeah it ain't saphire lol

[spring plover]

i saw the ruby skin then i seen the emerald afterwards a few weeks later, i theorized that we would get a sapphire because to make up a pixel on a screen you need RGB

[dull marsh]

It would be fun and would look great indeed

But for now these are just speculations, it looks more like diamond to me

[spring plover]

just throwing out a thought 😅

[dull marsh]

We can see the transition between Platinum and Diamond 4 in that image, and it's almost the same color

[daring bluff]

i've been thinking that embark will probably do some sort of cross-progression between WT and Ranked, which i think explains the double diamond. Thing is, many players like myself will want the rewards from both modes, however if WT is anything like how it was this season, then that's going to be completely unachievable while also playing ranked. So I bet if you play ranked, you'll also make progress in WT somehow

[cold heart]

no worries, just tbh you said "i know" 😅

[spring plover]

honestly in the pic it looks like diamond is cut off in the top right

[daring bluff]

or, maybe, once you hit a certain level of WT, then ranked starts getting you progression in WT

[spring plover]

also, it would be kinda wierd for them to change the whole color

[cold heart]

i hope so.. finally got to E2, i can finally rest 😌

dont think i can go through that grind again though lmao

[daring bluff]

i'm 3 wins away from E2... 😭

should be ez tho

[bleak palm]

Huh I didn't know you actually played the finals cath 🤔

[daring bluff]

hey, smart people play the finals too!!

[bleak palm]

No cath is only allowed to be cute and smart. Not actually play this goes against my religion

[cold heart]

i see, my bad

[hard forge]

what did i miss?

[dull marsh]

Nothing yet, I've started collecting my notes, I have 150+ lines of connections for now, I might have double that in total

[thick hound]

this skin in the S4 teaser picture is this CB2? permanent reward only difference i can tell is that it doesnt have the chain thingy but that might be compression hiding it

if the skin gets recirculated kinda hope i get something for it

[daring bluff]

i'm thinking it's a placeholder image

[thick hound]

could also be that but i feel like they arent lack of choice for random skins which makes me think its intenional

im going to look back to see if it appears in other images

seems to be first appearence since OB

i mistook it for cb2 cus im pretty sure it was in that BP but not permanant reward

[rotund apex]

Even if it wasn't a placeholder, I honestly don't mind if they bring those back for current players.
But that's me, I get that some people would be angry over them bringing back rewards that were supposed to be exclusive

Don't think it would be a particularly smart move from Embark to do that though, kills any and all trust that veteran players have

[opal pond]

Only the closed beta skins have stuff on it to show it was from the beta. The open beta stuff is just generic sponsor stuff. Still I dont think they're just gonna bring it back and its probably an oversight on the media team's end

[rigid adder]

😔😢

[pale quarry]

Pretty sure it was from the PlayStation plus bundle

[opal pond]

Nah its a different camo skin

A bit darker

[pale quarry]

Oh right

[bleak palm]

The s4 ak skin says "bosbuse" it's totally different

It's pretty obvious if you ask me (S4 leak)

[opal pond]

🅱️os🅱️uze

[solid jay]

Looking forward to reading this. Feels like despite solving a couple things in game that this channel has gone quite askew since I last participated regularly.

[fresh quiver]

get the popcorn ready!

[bleak palm]

Yeah I'm pretty hype for Ludo to reveal

[dull marsh]

I'm hyped to tell y'all, but I'm still collecting my notes to make it cohesive and easy to follow hehe

[solid jay]

No rush, take your time and get it nice an coherent lol

[dull marsh]

There is a lot, but it's goddamn obvious once you see it

Funny thing is that there is a lot but there are not that many new things

[solid jay]

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

[bleak palm]

Dude I wanna say take your time but at the same time I could skin you for making me live through this excitement 😂😂 I'm not a patient man

But still, take your time 😂

[dull marsh]

Well it's not quite ready yet haha

And I wanna wait a couple more hours so that we can have more people around

[bleak palm]

Just make a video about it at this point

[dull marsh]

No it's funnier to make y'all guess and I'll let RHB make one if he wants to lol

[radiant needle]

Cns 🤢

[dull marsh]

It is ready 🥵

I got a txt file with some 350 lines of notes 😅

The episode will start around 7pm/8pm Stockholm time

[plucky kettle]

whats that

[dull marsh]

That was the first episode #easter-eggs message

[fresh quiver]

Are there teasers on the board?

[plucky kettle]

yeah but what is the big picture

OHHHH

ok, good job

[dull marsh]

Nope

A lot of the big ideas are already there tho

[alpine junco]

Tonight is a harvest moon, maybe something on red moon skyway is activated?

[dull marsh]

It's just missing that one, big, connection

Sorry! IRL commitments getting in the way!

[alpine junco]

i feel like it makes sense too, since geocache was also a irl thing related to the ee hunt

#⚡┇the-finals-chat message

[hard forge]

what EE btw?

is there a bones EE ?

[zinc jolt]

not sure, i just asked if there was lore for the sponsor, and was told there was an easter egg related to it

[hard forge]

You talked about glowy bones, are they sponsors?

[hard forge]

ty

[zinc jolt]

there is a logo on the set that is shared with the six pack lower back cosmetic

[hard forge]

ohh..

[zinc jolt]

the gloves i know have the logo on them

[hard forge]

can you post some pictures?

[zinc jolt]

i’m currently at work unfortunately

i found this image online

[hard forge]

ty. now I know what you are talking about

[zinc jolt]

i mostly just wanted to see if there was a name for the sponsor, but i guess knowing that there is an easter egg works too

[dull marsh]

Starting the EE Party very s00n!

[atomic rock]

Is this another one where we have to guess your EE?

[dull marsh]

@hard forge @snow walrus @solid jay @fresh quiver

I'll let y'all tag other people hehe

[dull marsh]

Yes, but it's not mine lol

[atomic rock]

Well guess what you guessed I mean

[dull marsh]

Yes, but overall it will be simpler

I think

[atomic rock]

I hope that took a while last time

I slept and woke up and everyone was still at it lol

[dull marsh]

Oh it will take a while here too 😅

But I will leave less guesswork

[atomic rock]

But is it correct?

[dull marsh]

I hope some people show up :3

[dull marsh]

99.8% sure yes

Dare I tag @proud minnow too? 👀

00ps

Ok so let's begin hehe

Or should I wait a bit more? Idk there is almost no one lol

[burnt sun]

start

[naive kernel]

[dull marsh]

Ok ok, you guys are a bit familiar with the hunt? (else a lot won't be very clear)

The Big Picture #2

READ UNTIL YOU SEE

THIS MESSAGE MARKS THE END OF THE THEORY

What we've had thus far:

• Gold
• Egg
• Various passwords
• Sun
• Red dot
• Ra
• Iris
• Iridium
• Trinity
• WR, CETACEA and 3HM
• Obelisks
• Dream

Step 1: Rock

We've had quite a few different types of rocks within the hunt

Crystal, volcanic rocks, meteor, limestone

[hard forge]

Names of CEOs (which translates to type of rocks)

[dull marsh]

Yeah that could be related too

There is a scale which measure the hardness of materials

Anything interesting there?

[hard forge]

numbers?

[dull marsh]

It's the Mohs scale

It relates to 1 interesting person and there are some interesting numbers, which relate to some specific rocks

[velvet narwhal]

I don't think crystals are rocks

[burnt sun]

the moh scale rates minerals too

[hard forge]

this is infact true

[dull marsh]

Technically no but there are rocks that form by crystalization, other by sedimentation, etc.

I'm just making a small shortcut

[neon raptor]

Have we tried shifting the coordinates by 19 at all? I feel like what we have currently hasn’t brought us much info except for them maybe being moon coords

[dull marsh]

Ok so there is this guy called Pliny that wrote a book that talks about rock hardness (among other things)

When did he write that?

[velvet narwhal]

AD 77-79?

[dull marsh]

The book is called "Naturalis Historia"

[dull marsh]

That's when he died at Pompeii

[burnt sun]

the MOH scale was invented around 1800 years later

[velvet narwhal]

The wiki says publication date 77-79 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_History_(Pliny)

[dull marsh]

Hmm, I had only seen 77 🤔

[hard forge]

AD

[dull marsh]

Well both numbers are interesting anyway hehe

What's the hardness of Diamond and Calcite?

[hard forge]

(because 79 is Gold)

[burnt sun]

10 and 4

[dull marsh]

Argh that depends on the wiki page lol

[velvet narwhal]

I got 3 for calcite

[dull marsh]

There is one where calcite is 3 hehe

Both interesting numbers in the hunt

This one is for you @velvet narwhal ...

Rob keeps talking about "rockstars"... is there any type of rock who's name would relate to stars in some ways..? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rock_types

(this part is kinda speculative)

[velvet narwhal]

Suevite cause it's made during a meteorite impact?

[dull marsh]

Nah, it's really made for you... Nova...

[velvet narwhal]

You mean Novaculite?

[dull marsh]

What is it used for?

[hard forge]

sharpening

[dull marsh]

Is there any demoscene group that would relate to sharp stuff and to stars (such as the sun)?

[hard forge]

Razor

[dull marsh]

Like, very sharp

[dull marsh]

Yup! RAZOR1911, both 19 and 11 relate to the sun (tarot card 19 and 11 year cycle)

As a quick note sharp can also represent # symbol (we'll come back to that later)

Step 2: Metal

Funnily enough both Rock and Metal are musical genres

Ok let's start cryptic a bit

How much is -10C in F?

[inland hemlock]

14f

[hard forge]

where did -10c came from?

[dull marsh]

Nowhere it's just me having fun, although starting from -10 is a weird coincidence

[dull marsh]

Now as a unicode character what do you get?

[inland hemlock]

ŏ !!!

[dull marsh]

Cute character hehe

[blazing nexus]

who the hell is this ceo

[hard forge]

That's Mr. Yun

[dull marsh]

What is Rob's birthday?

[granite bough]

squid game ceo

[hard forge]

17th March?

[dull marsh]

What day of the year is it?

[inland hemlock]

76th!!! ?

77th in leap years!!!

[dull marsh]

What is EGG?

[hard forge]

366

[dull marsh]

Which is...?

[hard forge]

?

[dull marsh]

Does that specific number makes you think of anything?

[velvet narwhal]

a leap year

[dull marsh]

Rob was born which year?

[hard forge]

76

[dull marsh]

So Rob was born which day of the year?

[hard forge]

76th day of year 76?

[dull marsh]

Nah 77th of 1976

It was leap year

Btw 77 = ?

[velvet narwhal]

Iridium

[sharp flame]

yun

[hard forge]

M?

[dull marsh]

As a quick fact (for now), March 17th 1976 was a wednesday, in latin it's Mercurii which relates to Mercury

He also mentioned a whiiiile ago something about Friday coming from Frigg day

What asteroid does that lead you to?

[inland hemlock]

77 Frigga

[dull marsh]

Weird coincidence

[inland hemlock]

Just a coincidence nothing more teehee

[hard forge]

Frigga is also norse god

[dull marsh]

Ok so now let's go from Iridium

[velvet narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/kung-fu-panda-gif-24482418

[dull marsh]

What is the symbol of Iridium (and Platinum iirc)?

[hard forge]

)o

[dull marsh]

Cute symbol

[velvet narwhal]

That's the alchemical symbol right?

[dull marsh]

Remember our little letter i? maybe it can be useful...

Anyway let's continue for now

This step is called Metal... give me the most metal emoji Rob could use

[inland hemlock]

🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘

[gusty acorn]

do you use drugs

why do you have so much to think about

[dull marsh]

What is it called?

[dull marsh]

I have autism

[gusty acorn]

ohh that explains it my bad

[inland hemlock]

The emoji? Metal
The gesture? Horns

[dull marsh]

What deity/god does it represent?

[gusty acorn]

satan

[dull marsh]

Nope, that's for later

[dull marsh]

And not exactly

[velvet narwhal]

What religion? There are multiple horned gods

[dull marsh]

Just go on the horned god wiki page

[inland hemlock]

God of nature, wilderness, sexuality, hunting Triple Goddess

[gusty acorn]

is that khonsu

[dull marsh]

Remember Iridium? If we just use i on it, aka rotate it, we get the horned god!

And it's related to metal music that Rob loves!

Great coincidence

[gusty acorn]

damn you are smart

i was trying to do research for a theory video about holtow but now im stuck in a rabbit hole

[dull marsh]

Just as a note, the Horned God is related to "green man" (aka S1 aliens) and sun god, which has already been a thing

Also that gesture has been popularized by Black Sabbath in 1979 (interesting year as per Rob)

It has also been used by KISS (which attempted to copywrite it or something like that...)

There is a very famous representation of the horned god, which one is it?

[burnt sun]

Baphomet?

[dull marsh]

Rob has said at the end of the metal concert on Vegas we can hear him say in swedish "I love goats, I've always said so" (or something like that, Discord doesn't want to retrieve that message)

Baphomet is related to a specific shape... which one?

[gusty acorn]

star??

[dull marsh]

Not any star tho

[gusty acorn]

pentagram

[inland hemlock]

The sigil

[dull marsh]

There is the "original" pentagram with the Da Vinci dude in the middle and written ADAM and EVE

And there is the inverted pentagram which "looks like" the horned god head

[gusty acorn]

how do you know all of this?!

[hard forge]

he never said the word "goat" on the server

[dull marsh]

Maybe he only said it during streams in chat?

[inland hemlock]

I think that sentence was from a stream yes

[dull marsh]

I'll give you this one for free, but Baphomet is also related to the letter Ayin (which is at the origin of letter O and means eye)

[hard forge]

Wikipedia + 792262

[gusty acorn]

792262 what

[dull marsh]

au ti sm

[gusty acorn]

how does that mean autism

[dull marsh]

number for each elements hehe 79 = au, etc.

[gusty acorn]

bruh

i must have stupidism

[bleak field]

aint no way 😭

[dull marsh]

Baphomet and the goat are related to a constellation... which?

[inland hemlock]

Capricornus

[dull marsh]

Which correspond to which constellation in Chinese Astronomy?

[inland hemlock]

was it the black tortoise of the north?

[dull marsh]

Yup! That had been 'd by Rob

[gusty acorn]

wtf we got walking wikipedias here

[spring thistle]

Is ludo at it again?

[dull marsh]

Who created that famous representation of Baphomet?

[inland hemlock]

no idea lemme google it :D

[burnt sun]

eliphas levi

[dull marsh]

Ok this is a big speculation, but E LEVI if you transform E=>5 (5th letter of alphabet) and V=>5 (roman numerals) you get 5 LE5I or S LESI

Once again, big speculation, probably wrong

[zinc jolt]

i’m new to all of this and am trying my best to follow along, but mind if i ask where Ayin fits into this?

[dull marsh]

Baphomet can be represented with a severed head, as a cat (we've had cats from Egypt mythology) and sometimes with 3 faces... 3 faces

[dull marsh]

We have a lot of connections already around circles and O, but it's gonna go somewhere afterwards I promise

[burnt sun]

this is then different to the baphomat by eliphas levi though

[fresh quiver]

elvis. if you can get slies you can get elvis

hi btw 😄 also arrived now

[gusty acorn]

or S lies

[hard forge]

(@gusty acorn if you were digging about
you should look up the .https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVK0idxbU=/?moveToWidget=3458764596714583146&cot=14 there should be something on it of your interest

[gusty acorn]

omg thanks

[zinc jolt]

ah, cause i just know Ayin as the concept of nothingness

[hard forge]

in the lore section @unkempt dune might have added it

[dull marsh]

Eliphas Lévi was a... fr...?

[burnt sun]

frenchman

[hard forge]

that's ludo too XD

[dull marsh]

True but not what I'm waiting for hehe

[inland hemlock]

esotericist?

[gusty acorn]

yeah there is holtow

[burnt sun]

a freak - he claimed to be a mage :D

[inland hemlock]

a gamer

[dull marsh]

free...

freema...

[hard forge]

ok let me look

[inland hemlock]

GORDON FREEMAN?

[hard forge]

Freemason

[hard forge]

morgan freeman

[dull marsh]

Baphomet is related to the idea of "Fire baptism", which we've had with the first image(s) of Level 2

It relates to the idea of Phoenix too imo

[inland hemlock]

i don't know nothing about our Eliphas, haven't done my homework..

[dull marsh]

Sun is 19 from Tarot cards

What would be our good old horned god?

[hard forge]

and phoenix relates to rebirth?

[dull marsh]

Come on people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Devil_(tarot_card)

[burnt sun]

and aleister crowley believes to be the reborn eliphas - and he invented tarot

[dull marsh]

Yeah Crowley seems VERY interesting but I didn't dig up on him

[inland hemlock]

sorry master ludo i was letting the dogs out, my sisters knows a couple things about tarot cards

[dull marsh]

So Baphomet/Devil = XV

And which is the 15th letter?

[zinc jolt]

o

[dull marsh]

The devil also makes me think of Descartes Demon, there has already been a cosmetic about it and it relates to the fact that it's basically impossible to tell if your reality is real or simulated

[inland hemlock]

that reminds me of something... not sure what

[dull marsh]

The tarot Devil also relates to Mercury, and we've had Hermes Trismegistus before in the hunt (which is Mercury) and is Apollo's half-brother

[hard forge]

reminds me of Rene Descartes

[dull marsh]

There are multiple possible etymologies for "Baphomet", but one which relates to Hebrew sounds very interesting

[inland hemlock]

yuh uh, our main man

[dull marsh]

Just search "hebrew" lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baphomet

We can really sense EE has been kinda dead recently hehe

Well I'll continue then

The name potentially comes from Hebrew using atbash cipher, which reverses the hebrew alphabet

Baphomet = bpwmt = swpy (via atbash) = Shofia = Sophia = Wisdom

Interesting that we find Sophia here

[silk tree]

oh okay. Thought it might've meant something since it had glowing eyes haha

[burnt sun]

keep goin ludo :D

[zinc jolt]

i assume this going to go to chokmah soon?

[dull marsh]

Ok so this next part will be a speedrun/tangent

[dull marsh]

Nope, never heard of that lol

Step 3: The GOAT (Pan)

Related to Echo and Midas (gold)
12 sons including Phobos (Mars moon) and Argos
Pan's flute = Piper at Gates of Dawn = Pink Floyd

Midsummer Night's Dream (movie) = Midsommar + night + dream + Pan

[zinc jolt]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chokmah

[dull marsh]

It may go there but for now I've not explored that part

[zinc jolt]

this also relates to the concept of Ayin

[dull marsh]

Pan = Saturn XVIII moon = Jupiter XI moon
Pan (genus) = Chipanzee/bonobos = 3HM
Pan (prefix) = all, of everything

And I think it could relate to Peter Pan

Peter Pan = Neverland = 0
Peter Pan = Dream + imaginary + fairy + pirate = Tinker Bell
Peter Pan = Tinker Bell = J.B Bell

Ok now we start to go into interesting stuff

First there is another symbol which is pretty similar to the 🤘 gesture, but relates to japanese culture and represents a fox god

[inland hemlock]

used by Babymetal!

[dull marsh]

Could be related to VOLPE logo

[burnt sun]

thats also used in the kindergarden

[dull marsh]

Step 4: Love is a mirror

[inland hemlock]

Volpe means fox in italian

[dull marsh]

There is YET another symbol which is very similar to 🤘 ...

[inland hemlock]

🤟

"love you"

[dull marsh]

That's when it is @hard forge

[dull marsh]

nooooooot quite

Missing a very short word

[inland hemlock]

i

[dull marsh]

Make an accronym of that

[inland hemlock]

ILY

[dull marsh]

And NOW the fun begins

[hard forge]

#easter-eggs message

[dull marsh]

You know the etymology from Baphomet's name?

They used Atbash cipher

The Atbash cipher inverts the order of the alphabet, so A=Z, B=Y, ...

What is ILY?

[inland hemlock]

ROB

[dull marsh]

Hehehe

[inland hemlock]

woaah

[dull marsh]

Crazy coincidence ?!

[inland hemlock]

it do be crazy!

[dull marsh]

That gesture is also used by spider-man which relates to Spiderweb and Web... (like this hunt)

But you want to know the real secret?

LOVE is the key

try it try it

[hard forge]

this is interesting

[dull marsh]

So... what is LOVE..? (in atbash)

[inland hemlock]

OLEV

[dull marsh]

YES

L = O and V = E

What about if we go with 77... a big number now...

77 = Iridium = Ir = ...

[inland hemlock]

RI ?

[dull marsh]

YUP, I = R

Also X = C

CA = XZ... which makes me think of ZX Spectrum

Pi = Kr = Swedish Krona

STHLM is funny, it's HGSON = Hg son = Mercury son = Pan

POP = KLK (pop = OSPUZE and KLK was explained by Rob a while ago)

Then we have Sweden which is abbreviated Se

[inland hemlock]

#1201288968562552863 message Rob explaining KLK

[dull marsh]

Se = Hv = Hwair (gothic letter) = 𐍈

Weird coincidence again

Then we have Rob's classic "yO" = BL

And BL = Bell Labs / Black Light (UV) / Basel-Landschaft

Basel being where Euler is from

[hard forge]

the first ever server message?

[dull marsh]

Yeah and he's been saying it a couple times in the last few weeks again

Ok this is VERY EXPERIMENTAL

But Rob is from FALKENBERG

Falken = Falcon = Ra btw

If we take FALKENBERG SWEDEN = FALK SE and Atbash the first word, we get OZUP SE = OSPUZE 🤔

(again, very experimental)

[inland hemlock]

experimental but it works

[dull marsh]

Step 5: Swedish ABC

There are some letters which are in Swedish alphabets and not in english one

Å, Ä or Æ (Old Swedish), and Ö or Ø/Œ (Old Swedish)

[atomic rock]

We still at it?

[dull marsh]

We still gonna be here for a while...

Might split it over 2 days lol

[atomic rock]

Oh boi

[dull marsh]

But it will be SO OBVIOUS

[atomic rock]

I hope it’s correct

[zinc jolt]

this feels like i’m a 2 year old in a highschool class

[dull marsh]

Ok so let's start with Å

I'll just dump the connections for each

Å = A ring = saturn = A + ° = 1 + 0 = IO
Å = Ångström = 10^-10 = X^-X = 0^0 = 0v0?
Å = Aa = Aaron = Elvis = Disk = ☉
Å = Cirque du Soleil = Sun's circus = sun + circle = O

Ä = A-Umlaut = äu = gold = ☉
Æ = aethusa = 1064 = gold = ☉
Æ = A, E = 1, 5 = 15 = O

Ö = island = Monkey Island
Ö = 0xD6 = D6 dice

Ø = empty set symbol
Ø = null = 0 = O
Ø = diameter = lens = circle = O
Ø = saturn = ring = O
Ø = 0xD8 = D8 dice = 8 = Oxygen = O
Ø = / + O = I + O = IO
Π= OE

So basically what we get out of all of that is: O, ☉ and IO

[gusty acorn]

you lost me

[dull marsh]

Most of these are connections we've already done before, but a couple of them are new

[hard forge]

IO hmm

[velvet narwhal]

Ä can also be written as 'ae', if that has any value.
I think the Æ and Ä were used interchangably originally

[hard forge]

ohh

[zinc jolt]

i think it’s an hour long explanation condensed into an answer key if i had to guess

[gusty acorn]

only connection i got to these are that im finnish so im a neighbor of sweden

[dull marsh]

Yup, it's the Old Swedish version, but both are interesting just like Ö and Ø

Step 6: Let's circle back

Get ready for... more circles...

We gonna go through Level 2 passwords and look at their "obvious" meanings, and potentially new meanings

1064:

• gold fusion temperature = gold = ☉
• aethusa = asteroid = !
• 10 = (X = C) = binary = IO
• 10, 64 = base 10 or 2 to base 64

LXXIX:

• 79 = gold = Au = ☉
• 79 = O (ASCII)
• 0x79 = y (ASCII)

And a new meaning I've found is if we transform LXXIX into binary

• LXXIX = 1-10-10-1-10 = 0xD6 = D6 dice = Ö

5f137s2:

• Mendelevium electron configuration = orbit = ☉
• Mendelevium = 101 = e (ASCII) = 5 (binary/alphabet)

[fresh quiver]

yO

[dull marsh]

0vif0rm:

• ellipse = orbit = ☉
• oval = egg = O
• 00 = ∞

[dull marsh]

Didn't even pick this one up lmao

[dull marsh]

y = 0x79 = 79 = O (for clarification)

[fresh quiver]

robs first message on this discord

[dull marsh]

cacoiii:

• calcium carbonate = eggshell = egg = O
• iii = !!! (mirror) = --- = O (Rob's morse)
• iii = 111 = o (ASCII)

[dull marsh]

Oh yeah I already talked about yO but didn't notice both characters here are 79

[velvet narwhal]

0x00 = NUL

[dull marsh]

vit3llus:

• yellow = gold = ☉
• egg = O

viold + evivi

• 6 + 66 = G + BC (base64) = GameBoy Color?
• 666 = devil = Ka (base64) (to research more)

0v0aurum = 00 = egg's gold = O + ☉ = ∞
